I first saw FA about 2 or 3 years ago on Dutch television. I was simply blown away by it. Best acting I'd seen in years (what is it with those Scandinavians.. are they born with acting talent, or is it something in the air?) and the story just moved me to tears.
The day before yesterday, someone left a plastic bag in our house... we had a little new years eve party. Anyway, there's a bunch of DVDs in this bag and to my delight, a copy of Fucking Amal!
Today I watched it again for the first time in two years, and it was even better than the first time, if that's possible.
After watching it, I felt very much inspired, just like the first time. Then I remembered that I tried to write a song about it, but couldn't quite put into words what that movie did to me. Today I found the lyrics I was fooling around with back then. They're a little rough, but I've made it my mission for 2006 to turn it into a decent song!
There are very few movies that make me want to pick up my guitar and bang out a song, but Fuckin' Amal does just that.
